Chris, you could totally watch Once Piece and enjoy it, it’s 100% ridiculous and has great art, character designs, and story. don’t worry about the fact that the episodes and manga are fast approaching 1000 you can enjoy this series at a leisurely pace and not feel like you have to marathon the shit out of it just to be relevant and contemporary. every body I know is at a different place in absorbing this series and all of them enjoy it on the same level.
